Is that note 3 running kitkat?

[MENTION=617394]rua[/MENTION] is there a way to remap buttons? There are only two on this mt6572 watch, power and home. Currently power scrolls and home does nothing.

Edit: sorry I should specify I'm talking about cwm.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bigrammy:
It's normal to receive that message and there is no real need to flash preloader. :good:

The early warning

is telling you that this file still exsits in the clockwork mod backup which is on your sdcard. This file will reset your ROM if you flash it and will likely remove your root, superuser, etc. :crying:

Using your PC or file explorer browse to /storage/sdcard0/clockworkmod/backup/131230-222145/inside you will see a file called system ext4 tar Open up this file with winrar if on PC but do not extract it then find /etc and locate the named file.:good:

hi,

anyone able to make me custom recovery for Teclast G18 Mini please?

I done a full back up and MTK tool made a custom cwm mod but i get an error "is too large and causes region overlap" when I flash it it does not boot recovery. So restored the back up recovery and soc_ro so it is working fine.

I also tried to manually make a recovery using michfood-Port-CWM-6.0.3.0-BM but it is the same. The recovery.img is bigger in size when adding cwm patch.

Edit: getting close ;)

I'll leave these files for someone else to use if they need

After trying almost all the tutorials available on internet for MTK devices (even the Cihinaphonearena ones...) I wan't to request you to provide some working method for LG D686 (LG G Pro lite dual) for flashing CWM/TWRP recovery and ROMs...SP Flash Tool is unable to progress after 0% while trying to flash recovery to my phone and Mobile Uncle Tools is flashing the recovery image but while rebooting to recovery mobile screen displays "Security Error" and again reboots normally.

Please refer to this thread to have better understanding of our problem : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=49013589#post49013589

PS: Even I tried to make CWM/TWRP recovery with the available tutorials and other stuffs but none was able to Fash using SP Tools.. even SO tools is unable to make any backup.. it always remains at 0% for any work.

I have also tried "Flash Tool" from MediaTek... but again no success.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Fulvian:
I followed this guide to install CWM on my Xperia C (C2305). Everything went well until the tool asked to reboot, I clicked Yes and the screen just went blank, I waited for quite a while but it never booted. I tried long-pressing the power button and it didn't work, holding volume down and power didn't work either. I panicked, then I tried combination of volume up, volume down and power while the phone was connected to PC and I managed to enter flash mode (the LED was green) and reinstalled the firmware using Sony Update Service.

Phew... at least I could bring my phone back alive.

Anyone got idea what could be wrong here? I need to install CWM to repartition this small internal storage.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bovirus:
Threre are a lot of missing details.

What's MTKdroid version?

Which are the result (OK) of patching?

The phoene should be rooted.

Then you have to select to create the CWM from internal boot.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Fulvian:
Sorry, were you quoting me?

I used MTK Droid v2.5.2.

Everything was OK, I didn't see any error prior to rebooting the phone.

Yes it was rooted, the status bar in MTK Droid was yellow so I clicked Root before following the guide, and it then turned green.

Which option is this?

Anyhow, I've found a post of someone else who also bricked his Xperia C when trying to use MTK Droid:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47220727&postcount=9

What happened in my case was exactly like him, it's just that I managed to restore original firmware myself and didn't need to send it to Sony service center.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yuweng:
Guys, nothing is going to work on your device b'cos its a lock bootloader... :cool:

When they announce Motorola & Sony are using MTK SoC & everyone welcomes it... :o i already doubt at that time, these so called 'branded products' will be that easy for modding... :cowboy:

So far confirmed lock bootloaders are MTK Motorola Razr D1 & D3 (XT914 to XT920), ASUS me173x, LG D686 & now Sony C2305... :cool:

The worse is Razr existing tools available cannot unpack its boot.img & system.img... And it uses its own software, the RSDLite & not SPFT... So no custom ROM or recoveries for you guys...

So far only one DEV found out & share how to unlock the me173x... :good: But again, it might brick your device.... :fingers-crossed:
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Fulvian:
Wow sudden clarity! Thanks, yuweng. I just got this C2305 after losing my Note 3 in New Year's Eve :crying:. For the price I paid, I like everything about this phone, except the atrociously small app internal storage (only about 700~MB usable). It's a pity that its bootloader can't be unlocked (I just double-checked using this instruction) so I can't repartition its internal storage. Thanks anyway, I'll look for another way to make room for apps that can't be installed on external SD. :) :fingers-crossed:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] KopiJahe:
I have some friends that runs local phone service, I've seen the volcano box, (and some other "flashing" boxes) and roughly know how to use it, but I personally didn't use that

This boxes is used to flash phones by attaching to their JTAG pins (or USB or other pin, even some phone requiring direct soldering to their NAND), this boxes also used to bring dead phones back to live. For MTK devices, I read it somewhere it also can be used to manually recalibrate the sensor. This boxes is also fairly expensive :D
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] badagila:
local phone service? what is that? anyway there is a free flash tool? that can fixed any boot loop or os problem? like samsung we have odin..., what is for the others? like cherry mobile or other phone that made in china? they have no site for there firmware?

v2.5.3

v2.5.3

Please do not place the file on other sites!
​

Changes:

Support MT6592. Unlike previous SOC, here, when reading the ROM through the FT, not read block preloader. This block can be backup in the program after obtaining root shell.

File MTKdroidTools.ini has new variables ScatVer111 and ScatVer112, which listed SOC for which it is necessary to do a new type of scatter the appropriate version. At the moment it V1.1.1 for 6572/82 and 6592 for V1.1.2. If the SOC in these variables is missing, the scatter is the old type. Scatter the appropriate type is done with the backup and from "Block Map".

When you create a CWM file size compared to the size of the block. If the file size exceeds, then flash it is not offered, but the file is saved. If you choose to create CWM automatically and exceeded its size, we attempt to do CWM of mini template, which excludes the partitioning SD card into 2 parts.

On phones with ubifs filesystem backup system unit is in 3 forms:

tar archive. not for FlashTool!

system.ibifs.img. not for FlashTool!. Of this file under linux you can make an image for Flashtool

nodl_system.bin. As owners say, this file can flash through FlashTool. It must be edited manually rename and move to a folder for FT.No guarantees, on your own risk!

.. so nearly there ...

Can anyone help please? Been following these excellent instructions to try to root my MT6577 - and have failed at the last stage! I am a complete novice at all this, but all seemed to go OK up to Step 9.

I managed to load the phone into CWM mode (with the list of stuff you can do), but wasn't sure when to connect MTK Droid Root & Tools. Tried lots of combinations, eventually rebooted into recovery both direct from CWM and via Droid Tools' own Reboot - reboot in Recovery options. First way resulted in blank screen, only way to be able to boot was to take out the battery, replace and start again. Second way resulted in 'waiting for reconnection to phone' message in Droid Tools when I connected cable AFTER choosing reboot into recovery. Wasn't sure what to do then, but once phone rebooted into recovery, turned it on and THEN connected to Droid Tools; although phone connected (checked ADB drivers working as they should and all seemed fine) still no option to backup, install superuser etc. - all greyed out.

I'm clearly missing something or just not understanding - or got something wrong earlier in the process? Apologies! Log file attached in case this helps ... did I perhaps use the wrong img file? There seem to be some directories/files missing. Phone still boots fine, links to PC, seen by Droid Tools, but nothing much seems to have changed, although I have been through first 8 steps & CWM seems to be installed OK!

All suggestions very gratefully received - in simple terms for a complete numpty please! Thank you so much!
